Biology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Abstract:
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clonal proliferation of mature-appearing, but maturationally immature B cells; T cells are rarely involved. Most data suggest that CLL cells are frozen at an early step in maturation; this can be overcome by several techniques such as in vitro incubation with tumor promotors. Although B-CLL involves B cells, and abnormal T cell function is common, its etiology is uncertain. Oncogene abnormalities and retroviral infection have been reported in rare cases of CLL; their role in more typical cases is unknown.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...
